I will start this thread by stating that I drink in moderation in social settings and enjoy it. However, I believe that alcoholism is a rampant epidemic in our society, touching every family in a bad way. I read TT's post about the drunk driver who killed her friend's son, and it was his 7th DUI. My friend is getting divorced from her alcoholic husband, after her alcoholic sister suddenly died after a brief period of abstaining and then drinking again about 5 years ago. Alcoholism ruins so many lives and families, it makes me furious.
I can see that the dominoes are falling and marijuana will soon be legal everywhere. I don't smoke it and don't really have any thoughts on it. I just hope it doesn't destroy as many lives as alcohol does.
Thoughts? Predictions?
